I remembered that almost a year ago I was working on screencast about widgets for nonprofits to build community and had set up a wikispace called nonprofit widgets. A promotion toolbox will give the nonprofit staff a set of procedures and tools to help promote their widgets. Great to have the tools, but you need a strategy.

One of the most common questions I'm asked as a social media consultant is, "Which tool is the best?" Are they already tech savvy, or will they need training to use the tools? Many social media tools are free, or low cost to use. A social network like Facebook, LinkedIn, or Ning might be a tool to leverage your talents.

Not everyone I work with has moved away from Word/Excel -- so I'm finding myself with one foot in the web-based collaboration tools and the other foot stuck in Microsoft Office. So, I can easily respect other people's tool preferences as long as I don't get too annoyed. Some folks just aren't comfortable with using wikis yet.

After asking around, I considered four free-ish options for the wiki: pbwiki , wikispaces , Google sites , and wik.is. I eliminated wikispaces because you have to pay to be ad-free (though it looks and functions very well). and starting points ("I'm a curator from a small art museum.")
